0140 - Um tholos no centro dos Perdigões?

This is one
of the structures that will be excavated this campaign. It looks like a tholos
type tomb, but we have to extend the excavation area to expose it all and
confirm the kind of structure we have there. If, as expected, it is a funerary
context, that would be great. It would provide human material for the projects
we are starting on mobility: the NIA project financed by FCT; an Australian
project where we are collaborating; and a DNA project, also financed by FCT,
and where Perdigões and other sites that ERA has excavated will be participating.
